A large NG with many top posted threads can soon add up to megabytes of
untrimmed quotes that a modem user must download (and possibly pay for).

And the vast majority (like 99.9%) of bottom posters DO trim...?

Indeed they do. If you 'bottom post' (or more likely, quote selective
bits and comment right underneath the point you're replying to), by the
very nature of the activity there is an incentive to trim the quotations
down.


You answer with a definitive yes and then four words in say "if".
